Double Strand Silver and Gold watcch - original photoCut two lengths of beading wire 7 ½" long for a 7 ¼" bracelet watch. Attached both strands to one lobster clasp using a crimp bead. String both wires through one crystal bicone. String one silver-plated bead, one gold-plated bead, one tiny freshwater pearl, one gold-plated bead, one silver-plated bead on one wire. Repeat on second wire. String one crystal bicone on both wires again, and pull the wire tight so that the beads form a loop and are tight against crystals at both ends.

Repeat until all beads are strung - you will have 6 loops and 7 crystals strung. Finish the bracelet by attaching to the second lobster clasp using a crimp bead. Watch band will be approximately 6 ¼" with the clasps. Attach clasps to watch loops.

Hint: When putting the bracelet watch on, unhook the bottom clasp and rehook on your wrist. Or find someone to help you!
